(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best headcollars

edit: man I should really read what you wrote first. You say you're already using a gentle leader and it's not working to well? What kind are you using? I've yet to use mine on a dog and have a single issue, but I guess I've gotten lucky or something. I use the ruffwear harnesses since their padded, but Kurgo has a really nice metal harness that uses like slip clips that are really easy to put on and take off, I'll try to find a link to both as well for you.

All my dogs started to pull one day, and I have 3 60 pound plus dogs, plus I work at a local animal shelter on Saturdays. This thing is a god send, and I cannot recommend it enough.

It's a little unnerving since it seems so thin to actually hold them still, but they just can't pull on it. I went from having them pull on the leash and their harness almost the entire walk to having them walk directly next to me in less than 5 minutes on their first walk.

Warning, they really don't like it at first, and will try to get it off, but just give them a few minutes and they'll get over it.

I have a husky mutt. Have you tried the Gentle Leader? It helps me a lot! It sort of looks like a muzzle, which I will argue is the only bummer, but it is basically a face collar. When they pull, or yank suddenly to chase a rabbit or whatever, it just turns their head, and redirects them. They are cheap enough that I think it’s worth a shot. amazon Link

Gentle Leader Head Collar

OR

Freedom Harness

Would be my top two choices.

Is it this one?

This.

I use this it makes it so when the dog pulls it pulls the side of their face down

How are you walking your dog? Harness? Collar only? Choker?

I've seen these (or similar varieties) work wonders on constant pullers - https://www.amazon.com/Didog-Upgraded-Version-Nylon-Collar/dp/B01IF0O9YO?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01IF0O9YO

A gentle leader could solve some of those problems with your dogs, especially when it comes to walking on leash. Made a huuuge difference with my dog.

If you have problems with your dog pulling you should look into getting a gentle leader walking collar, such as this one. It really helped my dog stop pulling!

I use a Halti connected to a front clip harness, no collar. Below are the ones I have but I'm sure there are cheaper options. I tried a choke collar once because my husband pressured me and it was horrible.

If he's pulling, stop where you are and only continue once he lets the leash go loose. It takes a lot of patience but he'll learn that pulling means he doesn't get to go anywhere. With the halti/ gentle leader, he won't be able to pull very hard anyway.
